Is The Mi-6 Pinpointer VLF Or Pulse Induction?

[Tom Slick]

The Fisher F-Pulse Pin Pointer is Pulse Induction, and they work extremely well. When I'm not using the Deus II and MI-6, I'm using the Fisher with all my other detectors.

If the MI-6 works well why does it matter?

Don’t know but next one will be the tek-point by Teknetics. Next one will be a pulse pinpointer, that’s for sure.

Same here. It doesn't like small foil, other than that it works fine. 1. Gen had problems when turned on next to big targets. They swapped my pointer to 2. Gen for free. I *think* the first one has been a little bit more sensitive, but maybe that's just a feeling.

The batteries last forever.. can't even remember, how often I need to charge them. Perhaps 1-3x per year (with every week use!). Battery type / size was one of the main reasons for me to choose this pointer. I hate those 9V blocks...

It's the same as the fisher, only the color is different.

Some old comments by Geotech about the F-Pulse, I suspect the XP Pinpointers are the same as the Pro-Find being loaded oscillator pinpointers.

I own both the MI-6 and the Fisher F-Pulse.

The manual for the F-Pulse states:

Technology: Pulse Induction, bipolar, fully static
Pulse rate: 2500pps, 4% offset adjust
Sample delay: 15us

The Manual for the MI-6 states:

Search frequency 12kHz

technology VLF

So this is what made me curious about posts saying the MI-6 was PI. Has the MI-6 been changed to PI technology, but the literature has not been updated yet? Or is there a MI-6-II coming out?

It's not necessarily a big deal to me as I love my MI-6 and use it exclusively with the D2. I use my F-Pulse with other detectors and as a back-up to the MI-6 with the D2.

It does seem to me that the F-Pulse is a bit deeper in my mineralized soil than the MI-6 though. My inquiring mind just want to know. ?

I'm sure it's people confused by it's Pulse audio option and that snowballed into it's a pulse pinpointer.

Yes, it’s the truth..

I stand corrected, I just like it 'cos it's wireless, and works in perfect harmony with all the other XP toys I have ? I also like my Quest XPointer Max now that @palzynskihas set me on the road to righteousness... ? Matter of fact I have two of them.
